This website is KGIS's latest web mapping solution. Unlike previous mapping solutions KGIS Maps
gives the user a much faster mapping environment as well as a look at much more current data.
It’s browser compatibility has also been improved.

More information about this application can be found on the Help tab, including a short "Getting Started with KGIS Maps" tutorial video. We will continue to look
for ways to improve and enhance the website, and we encourage your feed back and comments.

Zoom In: Hold down the left mouse button and drag a window over
the area you want to view.

Zoom Out: Hold down the left mouse button and drag a window which
indicates the size you want the current map to become. For example: if you want
to way out draw a small box.

Full Extent: This button will zoom you to the full extent of available
data. This may or may not be you initial extent. For example some regional datasets
(available in the future) may initially load at showing Knox County but a “Full
Extent” may include all surrounding counties.

Zoom Previous: Zoom to the previous extent – not sure how many
views get buffered but it is several.

Zoom Next: Zoom to the next extent. Only activated after a “Zoom
Previous” command.

Pan: Hold down the left mouse button and drag the map in any direction.

Selection Tools

Parcel Identify: Click within a parcel boundary to get simple information
(owner, address, and parcel id) about the parcel. The data bubble will also have
three icons for getting additional information about the parcel.

Owner Card Report

Property Map andDetails Report

View Parcel Details - this will display the full parcel information
in the "Details Panel" on the "Results" tab on the left side of the screen. Additional
information includes – e.g. full address information, parcel details (acreage, deed
info, subdivision, ward, etc.), school zones, political districts, etc.

Clear Graphics: Clear any selected features from the map.

Integration Tools

Picture Viewer: Click to display a picture view of the area from
Google's Street View.

For the Google Street Viewer to load with a street view image you must have a street
centerline near the middle of the map window. Most of Knox County has street view
imagery available. However, there are areas where no photos are available.

To change default integration applications click the "Settings" menu option in the
toolbar above the map.

Search by Address

Enter an address and click the search button. KGIS Lite is equipped with a geocoding
engine that will attempt to validate the address against official Knox County addresses.
The search results are based on address points NOT address ranges like other web
mapping sites. The geocoder has been customzied to handle special cases in Knox
County and should return a good list of potential address matches.

If a match score of 100 is returned, the address will automatically be located in
the map. Otherwise a list of potential addresses will be returned to the "Search
Results" panel. Click the address in the list to locate it.

For the best results DO NOT enter city, state, or zip code information.

If you can't find the address you are looking for through the basic address search,
you can use the "Address Builder" dialog. As you enter the street name a list of
official street names containing the entered string will appear in the list box.
Select the street you are interested in and the list of offical house numbers will
be updated. Select a house number and the units will load (when applicable). Click
the OK button to locate the address.

Search by Parcel ID

This search allows you to enter a Parcel ID and locate it on the map. Parcel IDs
must conform to the following format CCCIGPPPSSL where:

CCC = CLT Map #

I = Insert

G = Group

PPP= Parcel Number

SS = Parcel Number SubUnit

L = Condo Letter

The CLT Map number and Parcel Number are represented by three numric digits (where
zeros are important). The Insert and Group fields may be blank. However, you will
need to insert a space for these.
Below is a list of example Parcel IDs:
094LE041
030 211
116 04206
093HG00601
131KA02261A
066 13219Q
059OB01107

Search by Owner

This search will allow you to enter a owner's name and get a list of parcels owned
by that individual. Owner names are stored by Last Name - First Name format. You
can enter only a portion of the owner's name and you will get all parcels with an
owner name that contains the entered name. For example - if you enter "SMITH" you
will get parcels with the following owners:

SMITH MARY

SMITH JOHN AND JACK FROST

JOHN DOE AND SMITH CHUCK

JANE DOE AND SMITHSON ROGER

The search results are limited to only 400 records. If your initial search returns
more than 400 records try to refine your criteria. For instance in the example above,
"SMITH" will return more than 400 records. However, "SMITH J" will limit the search
results to less than 400 records.

Find Intersection

This dialog work much like the address builder dialog. As you enter a primary street
name a list of potential street name matches are returned. Pick a street name from
the list and a list of cross streets will be returned. Some streets have multiple
intersections (i.e. a street loops back to the street it came from) these are listed
as numbered intersections so that you can locate them individually.

Important Note: the cross street list is based on a dynamic spatial query performed
when you select the primary street. Therefore, if you use a long street with lots
of segments (e.g. Kingston Pike, Chapman Hwy, Rutledge Pike, etc.) it will take
a few seconds for the cross street list to return. In these cases try using the
shorter segment as the primary street. For example: if you want the intersection
of Huxley Rd and Kingston Pike use Huxley Rd as the primary street.

Find Subdivision

As you enter a subdivision name a list of potential matches are returned in the
list box. Select the subidivision you want to find in the list and click OK. The
subdivision will be highlighted in the map.

Note: Owner names are listed last name first. For example: SMITH JOHN.
